Cumberland Island

This morning we started off from Fernandina with a bit lesser wind than yesterday although it still was about 20 knots. After a one hour explanation on the boat by Tone, Leslie and I were on our own and off towards Cumberland Creek at the West side of Cumberland Island. We docked at Dungeness Dock (only space for one boats so I guess we were lucky) and than went on a hike towards the Dungeness ruines and a beautifull pristine beach. We saw several wild horses, a realy neat Armadillo and ot to forget a couple of buzzards and wild turkeys. We walke back by passing Camp Creek Docks before returning at our boat "La Nina". Late in the afternoon I sailed half a mile more North were we found good anchorground for the night. I even picked up a wireless internet signal so I could snet this message out. Outside there are a zillion stars and at the horizon we can see the may lights from Kings Bay nuclear submarine base!
